Cage screamed as the searing pain ripped through his chest. He staggered back as he felt everything spinning out of control. He touched his chest to feel the blood already oozing out of it.

"Are you this stupid?! Are you going to die for somebody who doesn't care about you? Somebody who only wants to use you and dump you. Is that really who you are trying to sacrifice yourself for?" Mason growled as he leaned forward and began to kick Cage sporadically.

Cage rolled around in pain. It was too much for him and he could feel the darkness slowly closing in around him. He tried to beg Mason to stop but nothing came out of his throat. Every single energy he had left was gone and he could feel the numbing feeling that was taking over his body.

Chloe, who was still in the backseat, was more terrified. She had heard gunshots but the chloroform was still withholding her. The effects were very powerful but she had recovered a bit. Mason laughed before he got away from Cage and quickly ran to

    While Zo continued to visit Cage in the hospital, he also took on the responsibility of overseeing Cage's companies and restaurants, making sure that everything was falling into place. It wasn't the first time he had been charged with such heavy responsibility, so it wasn't too hard to handle. When his parents were still alive, there were moments when everything was left to him to take care of, and it was his honesty and painstaking hard work that earned him his reputation. They trusted and treated him like a fellow family member and he, in turn, did the same. Despite the weight of these additional duties, he was determined to keep his legacy alive and ensure that his master's business continued to thrive even in his absence. When he reported to the company the next day, he quickly called for a meeting. The impromptu meeting soon kicked off as soon as everyone was present. He spoke to them, making sure to remind them of their objective to keep things running smoothly whether their

    Cage was able to heal tremendously fast in the next few days. The chest wound that he had sustained from the gun had almost healed up, so it wasn't the problem at the moment. He stirred from his long sleep and his eyes fluttered open as it clashed with the sharp rays from the sunlight which had already risen. He winced and slowly began to get up from his bed as he gradually came to consciousness. His thoughts immediately went to Chloe. He remembered so well that the last time he had asked about her, Zo told him that she was safe and was also in the hospital. He couldn't wait to go see her, but on a second thought, he wondered how she had been able to be saved. Had the Police caught Mason? How did she escape the evil traitor? Did she fight back? All these thoughts ran in and out of her mind as he pondered about what Zo had told him. There were a lot of questions that needed to be answered and he wasn't going to rest until he had the answers to the questions which he was seeking. The

  • RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE   SURPRISE!!

    As soon as they were settled and he was ready to hear what Cage had to say, Cage gave him his harrowing account of the events that led to Chloe's disappearance. The detective was more than shocked when Cage told him everything. That was because nobody could have believed that Mason had orchestrated the whole thing. Mason... it sounded so strange and so odd. This was because the man in question had been shot at the mansion. "So you are trying to tell me that Mason was behind all this. And he was the one that shot you and abducted your fiancé?" He asked, confusing Cage who wondered why the question was being asked. He had just explained everything and he was yet asking another question if he meant what he had just said. He nodded and continued his description. When he was done, the detective nodded and penned something into a small pocket book. "This changes everything. We need to act fast if we are going to get him. But I am happy that you are back on your feet. I think this is the

  • RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE   AN ANGRY REUNION

    Mason howled in pain before staggering back and cupping the part where Cage had hit with one hand. Seeing the cast on the other hand made him even more enraged because it was clear that the bastard was trying to lie that he had had shot. He remembered the fake blood pill that Mason had shown him while pointing a gun at him. The way he made it burst with a childlike excitement and laugh, it was all there in his mind, reminding him of what the bastard did and what he deserved to go through. Before the officers could intervene, he steadied himself and delivered a sharp kick to his other arm which was on a cast. "Aargh!!" Mason screamed. "My arm, my arm!"Cage didn't stop there, he went full circle and jumped on him before delivering punches on his face. The brief scuffle was immediately stopped when some police officers separated them. Rochelle was too scared to speak but she knew she had to support her husband. She ran to Mason who was on the floor, whimpering about his arm and knelt

  • RETURN OF THE TRILLIONAIRE: CAGE   INTERROGATIONS

    Mason was locked up as soon as they got to the station. The next day, he was led to the interrogation room where the detective was already waiting for him. The recorder under the table was pressed as soon as he was made to sit across from the detective and the recording began. The only source of light was the flickering overhead bulb which was intended to scare the person who was being interrogated. Mason looked so calm now, and it was very clear from the way he kept blinking that he had just woken up from sleep. The look on his face instantly went back to grave as the detective folded his arms in his chest and observed him for a while before the interrogation took off. "Let's cut the chase, Mason. We know you had a hand in Chloe's disappearance and Cage's shooting. Care to explain why you did it?" He asked. Mason's eyes narrowed slightly at the accusation even though he maintained his composure. The detective seemed too sure for somebody who didn't have proof. He replied. "Dete

    The detective tapped his fingers against the wall as he moved towards the interrogation room. He was with Cage who had requested to speak to him. They both kept hoping that in one way or the other, he would confess his sins but the man was very stubborn. Cage was anxious as he walked alongside the detective, this was because every day he spent without Chloe made him so nervous and worried. He knew she was out there somewhere, and he had to find her no matter what the situation was. They walked past the bustling activity as officers walked around them and soon walked to the room where Mason was already waiting for them. Spotting him sitting calmly in the interrogation room through the glass window, Cage clenched his jaw. Every time he saw Mason, he got so angry instantly. The man had caused him so much pain that he couldn't imagine how he wasn't dead yet. Mason should have been long executed, he thought. But somehow he was still a free man because there wasn't a hundred percent pro

    The next day, Mason was brought back to the interrogation room for last interrogations before being set free. The detective didn't waste any time and asked if he had anything else to say. "All I want to say..." He replied. "Is that I wasn't the one who did this. I will insist that I did not have a hand in what happened to Chloe. How aren't we sure Cage just wanted me to suffer. What if he actually has her captive. You never know." He said, amusing the detective who couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "You're free. You may have won this time. But mark my words, I'll make sure I find out the secret you're hiding." Mason's smile didn't leave his face. His eyes gleaming with a kind of cold amusement as he looked at the detective with a thinly veiled contempt. "Do you have anything against me? Something personal?" He asked. "Of course I don't. But I have problems with criminals, hard criminals that look so innocent but are devils deep down." Mason replied again. "What amuses me is t

    After seeing Chloe's father, Mason and Rochelle returned home with a spring in their step and a glint of triumph in their eyes. It was night already. They were both exhilarated as they walked through the door. Mason couldn't help but laugh as soon as he collapsed on the couch. He was more than happy with what was happening right now. The fact that they had been able to turn Cage against his future father-in-law was the plan when he had phoned the man to make peace between them. He knew how Cage would react, and he was happy that his reaction was able to annoy the man who was already fed up with him. From the look of things, he was going to disown Cage as soon as Chloe was found, and he wasn't going to be worried about it. What mattered was that Cage was gone, and never returned to their family again. There wasn't a better way to end the day than like this. Rochelle grabbed a cup of water from the table and quickly chugged it down before carelessly kicked off her heels. Mason was mo

    Trevor couldn't believe that this was happening. He'd gotten off the call with hopes that Cage wouldn't do anything, but when he had gotten off the phone with Cage, he couldn't believe it. It was still very hard to assimilate the words he had heard. They were devastating, utterly devastating. The threat and the calmness in his voice, he was still finding it very hard to believe a single word of it. "It's a fucking bluff," he said under his breath as he kept pacing the entire room. There was a lot more to this. "There is no way he's going to be able to freeze my accounts. That's not going to happen without a court order." So far he had been able to stay under the radar because of the palms he had to grease. It had saved him a lot and hearing what was about to happen meant a lot of things. It meant there was no way he could report to the authorities because they would find out what he had been doing and there wouldn't be a way to cover up the skeleton he'd been hiding in his cupboard

    NOTHING CAN STOP ME!

    Cage stood outside his house, pacing back and forth like a caged beast. He had been very worried, ever since he got the call from the agents some minutes before now. He trusted their abilities, but hearing that Chloe had been rescued was everything he could ask for. He couldn't wait to see her come back to him again. As soon as this was done, the Gedan Family would be shooting themselves in the foot. They had made a very big mistake the moment they decided to take her away from him so they could manipulate him into giving her up. He was going to make sure they suffered and got what they deserved. There was no mercy here. The silence was heavy where he stood and it was only broken by the occasional rustle of leaves in the breeze. He couldn't shake the images of Chloe's terrified face haunting his mind. He continued to stand there, patiently waiting. It wasn't long before he heard the sound of an approaching car. It pulled him from his thoughts as he walked to the direction. A black S

    YOU'RE WELCOME

    The night was dark and silent and the moon cast an eerie glow over the old warehouse. It was the perfect time to attack and that was why they had chosen this time to do it. The two couldn't wait to finish what was started not long before now. Chloe sat on a cold, hard chair. Her hands were tied and her heart was pounding furiously in her chest. She hadn't hadn't gotten a blink of sleep since she was apprehended because of how scared she was. She had never been more scared than she was at the moment. Be thoughts were filled with worry for her un or child and for Cage. She knew he would come for her, but she had no idea how or when. She only wanted to hope and kept looking out that he would come for her one day. She knew he would but normally he should have already come for her, but he hadn't yet. And that worried her so much. That was the moment the sound of gunfire suddenly erupted outside the warehouse. Her heart skipped a beat as her fear intensified immediately. She didn't know w

    BEFORE THE DAY ENDS

    That night was the longest night in his life. While the rest had gone to sleep, he stayed awake, restless and shaken. Even with the thought that she was not hurt at the moment, he couldn't risk the dread that had already engulfed him. Nothing made sense to him him anymore. He just wanted to see her safe and he knew he was going to pull off something extra to get this done. He was back home and no longer at his office now, but the Gedan family was still out here, and they had to be stopped. That was if the abductors weren't just trying to implicate them as the real suspects when they weren't. Cage was so angry and wondered how they had been unable to see that something like this could happen. Well, he didn't blame himself. There were no leads, no suspicious events that had led up to the kidnapping. It just happened out of nowhere, sending him crashing back into the world of hurt and pain and worries that he thought he would gone past now. He had to stop them and that was what he was a

    FOOLPROOF

    "What happened?" He asked, the concern in his voice was as silent as a summer afternoon. Cage took a deep breath and answered. "Chloe has been kidnapped. And they want me to sign all my properties over to the Gedans Family in exchange for her release. I never saw anything of this sort coming but it looks like they have been planning it all along for a long time. I won't be surprised if I find out that they are connected to the problems we have been facing lately, especially with Marcia. They could be the ones who told her to do what she did and now that their plans won't work, they opted immediately to abduct my wife. Those bastards, once I have my hands on them I'm going to make sure they regret whatever they are doing right now." Cage said, growling and punching the table with his clenched fist. A day ago he was happy that he had been able to curtail the situation but right now, everything had just gotten worse and probably gone back to square one. There was a big silence, after

    A VERY BIG ONE

    Cage sprinted back to his car as soon as he began to understand what was going on. He drove back home as fast as he could with his thoughts racing madly. He didn't know what to believe or think about. The fact that she had left an hour ago made him so worried and no matter how he tried to push the dangerous possibilities off and tell himself that she was OK, he couldn't. He knew that something was very wrong when he arrived home and rushed inside, calling out her name with a very panic-filled voice. "Chloe! Chloe!, are you here?" The house was eerily silent and he went to check the cameras after that. He found out that nobody had been there the whole time he was away. He had a very bad feeling in his gut at this point as he wondered what could have happened to her and where she might be at this point. Just for good measure, he checked every room, every corner, but there was no sign of her. The panic set in as he realised she was truly missing. He decided to wait, hoping she would wa

    A CHILL OF DREAD

    Cage felt so relieved and carefree as he drove down the familiar route to Chloe's family home. He was very happy because the problem had been solved at least and he just had to find out the main person behind the fake rumours. That wasn't a pain in the ass since whoever it was would be kept at bay as soon as he knew that he was wanted and a lot of people were looking for him. He had made a mental note earlier to call Dave to know if he'd found anything about the voice of the man who had spoken with Marcia over the phone. He was snapped out of his thoughts when someone honked at me from behind. He matched the accelerator and the car began to race down the tarmac. The later afternoon sun had already cast shadows on the earth but he barely noticed. He couldn't wait to get to the house and finally meet her. He was worried about what their conversation was going to sound like. He wondered if it would be awkward or emotional, considering what had happened between them before now. He remin

    TRACK A VOICE

    Cage didn't still safe despite the measures that had already been taken to bring down the allegations. He knew that something was still out there, searching and waiting for him to slip so they could strike. And he knew that he had to make sure that he didn't. The next day, he decided to call his lawyer again. He had decided that there was no need to rest anymore until he had gotten the whole problem sorted out. He felt uneasy when he picked up the phone and called his lawyer, Mark. The feeling was there with him, and it refused to leave him no matter how much he tried to. "Mark, I need to talk to you." He said, sounding tense even though he was trying everything possible not to sound that way. Yes, they had taken care of Marcia and her lies but that wasn't just working for him. It wasn't enough motivation because what faced them was bigger than Marcia, and even more deadly. He still remembered the attack of the assassins who had been sent to end his life. The thought made his gut

    BREAKING NEWS!!

    Two days later, Cage was in his house, particularly sitting at his desk in his study. The last few days had been a whirlwind of confusion and anxiety. The cops were still outside the estate where he was leaving, so he hadn't been able to leave the house since then, until he had been proven to be innocent. It was a very tiresome time for him and he couldn't wait to be done with it. That was the moment that his phone suddenly rang. He thought it was from his assistant or Mark but when he peered into the phone it was a strange number. It was strange because he didn't know who it was and because the caller ID was only composed of very short numbers that nobody in the state used. It almost looked foreign, and he prayed that it was the government house so he could be done with this. But on a second thought, he wondered what it would be if it wasn't really the government house but instead the perpetrator. His heart pounded as he picked up the phone. "Hello, this is Cage. " He said, doing e
